EBN3BWRC. PA., FRIDAY. - - - MAY -29, 1885. The Administration la industriously tnafcins hay. and it looks as if there would be a long spell of sunshine. Mr. IIat, First Assistant Postmaster General, returned to Washington from the South on Saturday last, and at once entered upon the discharge of his offi cial duties. His health is much im proved, and he says he has no intention of resigning. From this time on the conntry will have an opportunity for taking notes on the rapidity of his work In turutog out Republican Postmasters and putting Democrats in their places. N-o nan makes money so fast as a member of the legislature when be goes to narrwtmrg on a free railroad pass at the begriming of the session nd returns home at its Bnal adjournment on the same pass, and is paid mileage by the State at ttie rate of twenty cents per mile both goiDg and returning. If there is any other way of making money easier, or more bandy than this, the man who succeeds in discovering it ought to take out a patent. His fortune will then be tnade. CnRiPTOFHER L. Magee. the Pitts burg boss, may be, and in point of fact is able to mould the present Republican Legislature into any shape he wishes, in order to carry out the personal aims of the ritg he represents, but when he un dertook to control the next Republican State Convention in favor of an obscure and unknown friend of himself, named McDevitt, for State Treasurer against Matthew S. Quay, he entered a very largo field of corn with a very small hoe. This is quite apparent from the tone of the Republican press throughout the fctate, as well as from the action of sev eral counties that have elected delegates to the Convention. Magee and Quay are both bosses of the worst type and so far as we feel any possible interest in the contest we are for Quay. He is a man of brains and in that respect has a big advantage over the Pittsburg statesman. The bill prohibiting the granting or receiving of free railroad passes, and-r a heavy penalty, was defeated in the State Senate on yesterday week by a vote of 13 yeas, to 18 nays. This result is not surprising for a similar bill has on several occasions heretofore been de feated In either the Senate or the House. Every member of the Senate took an oath at the beginning of the session to support the Constitution of the State, and that Constitution declares that "no lead, railway, or other transportation Company shall grant free passes, or passes at a discount, to any person ex cept officers or employes of the Compa ny," and commands the Legislature to enforce the prohibition by appropriate legislation. No man of ordinary capac ity can possibly mistake the plain mean ing of the Constitution on this subject, and yet Mr. Biddis, a Democratic Sena tor from Pike county, claimed during the debate on the bill that every man had the right of a private interpreta tion. Biddis evidently took the oath to support the Constitution with a mental reservation. What earthly use have the people of this State for a Constitution which can't execute itself, if the Legis lature, as it is required to do, refuses to pass the necessary laws to carry it into effect ? It is an inspiring spectacle to see the Legislature treat the Constitu tlon with contempt, accept free passes from the Pennsylvania Railroad, and when a Committee of its members goes to Pittsburg, as recently in the Judge Kirkpatrick investigation, learn that they each charged the State almost one hundred dollars for mileage, although they didn't pay one cent of fare. Free railroad passes cost the taxpayers of the State over one hundred thousand dollars at every session of the Legislature. A Jonrr Committee of the Legisla ture consisting of five members went to Pittsburg about three weeks ago, to take tes'imony in retard to the mental and physical ability of Judge Kirkpatrick, of that city, to discharge his daties as one of the Judges of the Courts of Al Kaheny county. The Committee was nWnt from Harrisburg about a week and has filed a bill against the Stat9 amounting to fl.0Cl.C3, which is at the rate of ?212 for each member. The items of which this bill is made up, would, if published, make mighty in teresting reading. Only one of them has been made public and that is a cWge of f 436 for mileage, or f 90.20 for each nember of the Committee. When It is keuin rain(j tnat they all traveled on their free-jiroad passes this mile age grab to the e-nt of nearly $."500, is the most shameless ur,lji, 0f rapacity tv.a.t has ever been mad by a "omjit. tee of the Legislature. It ia the lowest and the meanest way of getting money from the State treasury without any consideration, and yet we venture the prediction that it will be paid without a word of protest. The Lancaster Intelligencer says: The biography of John Klly, the well known New York Democrat, contains much of interest to the student of American politics for the reason that he was an actor in one of the most heated periods of American political history. Kelly won his maiden spurs in the days when native Americanism was at the zenith of its power. He aud Bishop Hughes were the men who prevented the meet ing of the native American leaders in New York, which bad it occurred as in tended, would, in the then excited state of public opinion, certainly Lave ended in wholesale bloodshed. Thus in fight ing the battles of his faith and bis race, young Kelly quickly climbed the polit ical ladder, and sat in Congress for one of the New York city districts in 1854 when he was ouly 32 years old. ne was one Of the great moving spirits that led the bulk of the Whiz vote into the Democratic party after and during the time that the latter party was waging its successful war against Nr.ow-Noth-ingism. It was then that the Alticks and other well-known local families joined the Democratic ranks. Voicing this exodus of the Catholic Whigs, Kel ly said In a speech in Congress : "The large Catholic vote of Kentucky and Maiyland had always been found with the Whig party, until the Know-Noth ing monster and its protean brood of platforms drove them in self-respect, as well as in self-defense, into the rank of the national Democracy, where they have found repose and peace under the m,) eifnw of th Constitution. Y And under its shadows the great buiV of this vote still reposes. THE HOPE OF THE OPPOSITION. If becomes ev'dfnt every day that the Republicans are unable as yet to formu late a policy of opposition. As far as can be judged from the conduct or the party organs, they are pnzzled ard per plexed bv Mr. Cleveland's Admlnitra- tion ; and It is bnt natural mac tney should be. We notice that some of their more fair-minded journals are willing to give the Administration credit occasion all v for honest purpose and performance. while journals of another class criticise it constantly and savagely, not on ac count of its actual -shortcomings, but simply because they think it Is Demo cratic. We doubt if this sort of criti cism finds general approval or credence among, Rennblicans, more especially among sensible business men. We notice, too, that this disposition to assail the Democracy for its past leads some prominent Republican jour nals and leaders to attempt, exciting the jealousy of the North by calling atten tion to the increasing influence of the Southern Spates and the numoerof Im portant offices to which Southerners have been appointed by the Administra tion. A pretended fervor of indigna tion against "rebels" and "traitors" an imates a few Republican orators and newspapers, but. we do not ohrvn that it animates anything else. The North is tired hearing Republican tirades abont the wickednes, paat, present and to come, of the South. It is mst nn like!y that Republicans put any faith in the efficacy of their attempts to revive sections! animosities. They would raise some other issue than that discard ed one if thev had any other to raise ; but for the present they must be con tent to thresh over their old straw. There was a hop among them that a quarrel about the offices might arise ne t ween the Administration and mtluen tial elements of the Democracy, and that then the Republicans might foment the quarrel by standing by the Presi dent. That hone must be getting faint er, as the Administration is getting more and more Democratic every day As far as the offices are concerned, there is a growing probability of a contest be tween the Administration and the Re publicans in the Senate next w. er. and a lessening probability of a contest between the Administration and the Democrats. At. least we hope so. It is supposed that tr nbte may come from stirring no the tariff question again, and here, perhaps, the Republicans may win an advantage and find an Issue ; but that depends upon the tariff reformers, and the moderation and sense of responsibil ity which ought to be expected from them now that their party has come in to power. But the quarrels or the mistakes of their adversaries most be the main hope of the Republicans. They are not like )v to have any other programme than Democratic dissensions, and no device of their own will avail them if the De mocracy keeps solidly together and car ries out the administrative reform which is its pressing duty and the immediate need of the country. The Republicans have learned from defeat the necessity of making concessions for the purpose of maintaining substantial unity. Will the Democracy, which has owed so many defeats to its own foil v. ne wise enough not to alne i's triumph ? Will the Ad ministration remember that It can go without disaster no further than the rest of the pnrty is willing to go ? The coontrv Is fairly well pleased with the Adminisi ration at present, and the Re publicans are at a loss in what wa best to assail it. They are waiting for tbe Administration to furnish them with weapons. 2V. Y. Sun. Mahoxe's Postmasters in Virginia are now being crushed between tbe up per and nether mill stone at Washing ton at a very lively rate. The President, who may be regarded as the upper stone, suspended as high as Haman ten or a dozen of them one day last week, and Malcolm Hay, First Assistant Postmas ter General, who !9 the nether stone, and whose field of operation Is much more extensive than that of Mr. Cleve land, rolled np his sleeves on Monday last, dismissed eighty-eight of Mahone's Tostoffice henchmen and named their successors in office, Liberty Enlightening the World. This new Wonder of the World, which is now being loaded on tbe French transport Isere for shipment to this country, is the largest statue in the world. Some idea of its magnitude may be obtained from the fact that 43 persons found standing room within the bead. A six foot man standing on a level with the Hps onlv just, reached to the eyebrow. While workmen were employed on the crown of her head they seemed to be making a huge sugar-cauldron, and they jumped with ease in and out of the tip of the nose. Fifteen peo ple might sit round the name or me torch, which elevation can be reacded by a spiral staircase within the outstretch ed arm. The London Daily Jfews, in speaking of it, says : "It is out and away the largest statue of modern times. The Colossus of Rhodes was nothing to it. It would carry the 'Bravaria' or tbe Hermann' in its arms. It towers to the sxies from the yard of the Rue de Cha zelles. where it has been eight years in construction, and the view from its cor onet sweeps clear of the six-story bouses and beyond ths walls of Faris." The weight of this st upendous statue is 440.000 pounds, of which 176.000 are copper and the remainder wiought-iron. It is expected to arrive in .New xorx about the first of June, where it will be erected on Bedloe's Island, this being the location selected for it by Gen. W. Sherman, who was appointed by the President to make the selection. When placed in position it will loom up 305 feet above tide-water, the height of the statue being 151.2 feet, that of the ped estal 91 feet, and the foundation 52.1. This imposing statue, higher than the enormous towers of the great Brooklyn Bridge or the steeple of Trinity church, which is the loftiest in the city of New York higher, in fact, than any of the colossal statues of antiquity by its rare artistic proportions, as well as by its stupendous dimensions, will adJ anoth er to the Wonders of the World. A word should be said of its artistic mer it. The pose, stride and gesture, with its classic face, are pronounced peifect ; the drapery is both massive and fine, and in some parts is as delicate and silky in effect as if wrought with a fine chisel on the smallest scale. The conception and execution of this great work are due to the great French sculptor, M. Bartholdi, who has devoted eight years of his life and most of his fortuoe to this great work, and whose generous Impulses, which must be on a scale commensurate with this noble work, prompted bim to make such a gift to the United States. The committee in charge of the construction of the base and pedestal for th reception of this grout work are in want of funds for its completion, and have prepared a miniature statuette, an exact counter part of the original, six inches in height, the figure being made of bronze and the pedestal of nickel silver, which they are now delivering to subscribers througout the United States for the email sum of one dollar each. Aside from its being a lasting souvenir of this colosssal stat ue, it will ornament our homes and bear testimony that we have contributed to tbe completion of one of tbe grandest works of modern times. SEWS A5D OTHER "0T1HG8. TriE United States Marshal for the Southern District of Iowa, Mr. R.

While every government office holder in the United States acted in the last Whatever necessary delay may occur iu making removals in other States, Mr. Hay will take good care that not a sin gle one of Mahone's appointees shall be permitted to remain.

A vert important bill which passed the lower branch of the Legislature some time ago, passed the Senate on Wednesday or last week and has been signed by Governor Pattlson.

Senator John Shermau at a recent po litical serenade in Cincinnati, pumped up an extra allowance of cant about election frauds : "I think." said he."the vilest crime In ths catalogue f crimes, worse than any In the fnwmrr.iuii.nimi.infr than ateallne. ore than burglary, as had aa murder is to break down the elective franchise. A man may meal because of Ms hunger; he may commit ther rrimfs because of some reason, bat the man who chet hi neigh bors of the rteht to govern themselves com mits a meaner crime than any other that can be named." We are glad "honest John" baa been converted, because by virtue of Ms po sition and public career, in 1376, he was the leadiDg instrument, after such vul gar scoundrels as Wells, Anderson, Kenner and Oeenave. In making the Presidential theft a success He ad vised and sustained these knaves of the Louisiana Returning Board in refusing hp rVmrvernt representation on the Bvrd in the canvass of the vote, as re quired by law, and thus, during the who'e count, there was a vacanc? on the Bonrd and t he game of perjn'y and for gerv went on unchallenged. If Sher man hd said the Democrats should have, representation in it. it would have been conceded. He refused. His part was to promote fraud, not to pre vent if. Again, he gave a certificate of tru'hf'ilness to the negro strumpet, EHza Pinks'on. and fVvwled the North wit'n her perjuries to ft flam his prty to the sticking p-int of standing by the theft of Louisiana's vote. Slie died in prison a convicted felon. In orber ways nor. necessary to recount. Sherman prnnio'ed, advised and made successful the greatest election fraud of history be was chief agent in a crime he now whines to the people of Cincinaati is the worst and meanest in the catalogue. Of course it is. and therefore Sherman ie the meanest and guiltiest of the lot of "visiting statesmen." because his power was greatest. He gilded crime with moral maxims in Louisiana jnst as he Is throwing dust in the eves of the Cincinnati people. lie exacted his price too, from the miserable tool the crimes he made successful put In tbe Presiden tial chair, and Hayes got a receipt in lull when he made Sherman Secretary of the Treasury. The devil quoting Bciiptnre and John Sherman denouncing crimes against the elective franchise, are parallel instances of superlative and superhuman impudence. Pittsburgh Pot. .

It can uot be possible that an intelligently and honestly conducted agricultural depart ment connected with tbe Government should not be productive of beneficial results. The farming interest is so vast, aud there is such a scope for improve ment in agriculture, that if properly directed the operations of a department devoted to that object would be of very great value. But so far the Agricul tural Bureau at Washington has been productive of nothing but tbe disap pointment that results fiom tailute and useless expense. The impression was quite general that, as managed by Dr. loring, the bureau was inefficient in its operations and entirely too expensive for the am ount of good it was doing. But It was not known how" tntrOUgi:-jtdiJoitJ. was the pretension that it co'ijiro- to the improvement of ag iiJAu&-''A Since there has been a change in its su pervision the fact has been divulged that its chief object was to spend the appropriations made to sustain it, with a regard moie for the personal benefit of those who had the management than for the promotion of agricultural inter ests. Large amounts of money were squan dered on worthless seeds purchased from favored parties. These frequently were of such questionable varieties and poor quality that they were more of an injury than a benefit to those who used them. The sorghum mania that took posses sion of Commissioner Loring absorbed thousands of dollars which might hve beep put to practical use, while much of the annual appropriation was wasted on experiments which were criminally impractical if thoae engaged tn thetn were endowed with ordinary sense. The object was iudirectly to use the money to the best advantage of those who bad tbe handling or it. Nearly three-quarters of a roiilion was appropriate! annu ally to the maintenance of the bureau, but ignorance, pretension, speculation, favoritism and downright dishonesty so prevailed in its management that not a quarter of the amount was properly ex pended.
